    TTT Ep062 - Family Connections
    Jan 1 2025
    Maintaining family connections in these times takes deliberate effort and intentionality. We can all agree that relationships, including those in families, are important because they provide a sense of identity, a sense of belonging, and also serve as sources of stability and strength. In this episode, I captured a wonderful conversation with four family members from the next generation about how our family connections have impacted them. As you listen, consider how you can also strengthen connections within your own family.

    May I Have Your Attention?

    Seasons change; and with changes, feelings of unease and discomfort are possible. This reflective episode examines some life changes and challenging issues that educators face. Teacher life is not an easy road and the demands and expectations continue to increase. Summer break is really a time of recuperation for many, yet some cannot even do so because they have to work to make ends meet. As you listen, think about how you can make a difference in the life of an educator today.

    The conversation about the journey to motherhood with Laurie White wraps up in this episode. After welcoming a baby into the world, joy is evident and the real work begins. It is arguably the hardest job that a woman will undertake. Another level of planning is required to make arrangements for bringing a baby home and ensuring that the baby is welcomed into a safe environment. The mother’s recovery and care along with focusing on the welfare of the baby are also addressed in this informative episode.

    Back to Basics - Part 2 (Labor & Delivery)
    May 27 2024
    One of life’s greatest joys is welcoming a new baby. Labour and delivery is worth the wonderful face-to-face introduction of mother and baby. “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” – Rajneesh The conversation with Nurse Laurie White, continues in this episode with a focus on delivery and postpartum.

    Education is a journey of a lifetime, and we can all benefit from gaining knowledge about a variety of subjects. It is not restricted to a formal classroom setting focusing on core subjects and opportunities to explore the arts. In this episode, we are stepping over into the healthcare setting. This conversation will be shared in three parts, and part one is being released quite fittingly at the end of teacher and nurse appreciation week and on Mother’s Day. Let's learn about pregnancy and prenatal care from a registered labor and delivery nurse, Laurie A. White.

    The conversation continues with two of my fellow educators who have traveled abroad to teach in the United States. Ana Encalada and Olga Santiago traveled from Ecuador and Colombia respectively and are teaching 2nd and 3rd grade in their assigned school. In this second part of the conversation, we reflect on the diversity that exists in our school, and discuss the challenges they faced as international educators. We also talk about the benefits of their international teaching adventure. There were moments of self-reflection and appreciation for the international teaching experience, recognition of the power of human connection and the beauty of communication and interaction across cultures.

    Educators Abroad (Part 1)
    Jun 26 2023
    This is part one of another teacher-focused conversation that I hope you will not only find interesting and educational, but also inspiring. Imagine packing up only what could fit into two suitcases and jetting off across the globe to a new country that spoke a different language from your native one. That is what these two international educators did — one from Colombia and the other from Ecuador. Our conversation provided deep insight into some of the benefits and challenges that international educators may face. Enjoy listening to some of their experiences so far living and working in the United States of America.
